A few weeks ago, Epic announced Bulletstorm, a new Unreal-engine game being developed by People Can Fly. It's an intergalactic revenge story on a mutant-infested paradise planet, and it rewards kick-ass, creative kills. Now that we've seen some visuals, we can say: Yes, that is what it looks like...
Bulletstorm might be one of the most sadistic videogames I've ever seen. It's a shooter designed to discourage just shooting, one that rewards you - with actual points - for mercilessly torturing and toying with enemies before finally allowing them to die.
This debut trailer celebrates that ultraviolent style. Seriously, try to count how many poor, screaming enemies die in this video, and in how many disturbingly different ways. I got 25, but I'm pretty sure I missed a few...
Recently, we posted a facetious response to a Fox News article titled, 'Is Bulletstorm the Worst Video Game in the World?' In Fox's piece, psychiatrist Carole Lieberman is quoted as saying that violent games have caused an "increase in rapes." Such an absurd statement demanded ridicule, but we did feel that Dr. Lieberman deserved a chance to explain herself. Perhaps she was misquoted?
Yep, that's the word from Lord Clifford of Bleszinskishire. Gears of War 3 will include special unlockable content if you've played other Epic games. No word on what yet, or exactly how it'll work, but it'll most likely be a case of Gears 3 opening up little game-specific presents when it finds the right save files on your hard drive. Like Psycho Mantis, only with less levitating gimps. Either way, Cliff has given a few titles as examples.

A brand new teaser for Bulletstorm has just released, which pokes fun of the memorable Halo 3 television spot that aired in 2007. Like the original Halo ad, the Bulletstorm promotion features lots of super serious slow pans over realistic action figures in striking poses. Only this time, the camera focuses on baddies getting spiked through the groin and penetrated from the rear. Check out the silly, new Bulletstorm teaser and compare it with Bungie’s less ridiculous advertisement for Halo 3 inside…
It takes a lot of balls for an unproven IP to take cheap shots at its established competitors, but EA has high expectations for Bulletstorm, and apparently enough marketing wherewithal to create a playable Call of Duty spoof game entitled, Duty Calls: The Call Before the Storm...
Violent games are often said to be corrupting the world's youth, but they're not the only form of media to have ever contributed to the horrid swamp of murder and debauchery we occupy today. Why, when those who are now condemning games were growing up, they too were corrupted to high hell by all that gosh durn 'rock and roll' devil music...
Bulletstorm is now on shelves in the US, and if you haven't read our review, then consider this sentence the equivalent of Christian Bale dancing up and down your street singing, "Read all about it! The brick-shittingest new IP of 2011 reviewed!" But not content with today's mere outpouring of critical praise, EA, Epic and People Can Fly have stolen a few more headlines by announcing the first paid DLC for the game...
